Dodl regularly reviews the investments available in the app, alongside customer feedback, and may make a few adjustments to whatโ€™s on offer. The aim of these reviews is to make sure the investment range is meeting the needs of Dodl users as best as possible.

Youโ€™ll always be told when the investment range has changed, so you can keep on top of what's available and in case any new investments take your fancy! ๐Ÿ‘€

If any of the changes affect what you're invested in, for example one of your investments has been removed from the range, you can find out what this means and what you can do next in our article about this.

You can pop back here anytime to check exactly whatโ€™s changed and when. And if you need a bit more info on the review process or any changes which have been made, contact the team in the app - they'll be very happy to help!

๐Ÿ”” Itโ€™s really important to understand that the investments available with Dodl now, and the changes which have been made and are made in future, arenโ€™t a recommendation or advice on what to buy/sell. Itโ€™s just a sprucing up of whatโ€™s on offer โ€“ you make the choices!

  • July 2023 themed investments changes

This review involved making sure the index fund or exchange traded fund (ETF) underlying each theme still offered you good value, as well as looking at all the valuable feedback and suggestions youโ€™ve shared with us via the in-app chat or on socials.

The result of this review was a few updates to the themed investment range, to keep it in the best shape possible for you. ๐Ÿ’ช

What was added? โœ”

5 brand-spanking new themed investments landed in the Dodl app. They were all exchange traded funds (ETFs) โ€“ something quite a few of you had requested!

  • Global Shariah ๐ŸŒ - iShares MSCI World Islamic ETF

  • Going for gold ๐Ÿฅ‡ - iShares Physical Gold ETC

  • The powerhouse ๐Ÿ”‹ - iShares MSCI World Energy Sector ETF

  • Made of money ๐Ÿ’ผ - Xtrackers MSCI World Financials ETF

  • Chinese titans ๐Ÿผ - HSBC MSCI China ETF

What else changed? ๐Ÿ”

2 existing themed investments had their underlying fund changed. This was because the review found that other funds in the wider market offered slightly better value in that themed investmentโ€™s space.

  • The home team โ€“ was the HSBC FTSE 250 index fund โŒ, now the Vanguard FTSE 250 ETF โœ…

  • Lending the way โ€“ was the iShares global high yield corp bond ETF โŒ, now the State Street Global high yield bond index fund โœ…

  • January 2023 shares changes

Because Dodl is committed to keeping the investment range streamlined and non-scary, we kept the total number of shares in the range the same, just revamped it a bit! 12 of the least popular shares were shown the Dodl door and 12 fresh and favourited shares shuffled inโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s worth quickly mentioning that Carnival was removed from the range due to its credit rating standards dipping below what Dodl is comfortable with for the shares we offer.
